This is Chapter 1 of the True Tale of the Cunning Hat, a
screenshot collection assembled for the edification of cunning hat
knitters, and especially for Jade, who
knitted me a cunning hat and got me addicted to Firefly. To the best
of my knowledge, this is a fair use. Firefly is copyright 2002 by
Twentieth Century Fox.
